2011 Record: 10-6 [Their first 10-win season and first finish above 3rd in the division since 1995, first season above .500 since 2000.]

Schedule: The Lions play six of their first nine games on the road, including trips to San Francisco, to Philadelphia and to Chicago for a Monday night game. The flip-side, if they can weather that barrage, is five of their last seven are at home. Only their Dec. 9 trip to Green Bay has the potential for bad weather. They have not won there since 1991 (Pre-Favre). So, don’t give up on Stafford or Megatron if they start slow in Fantasy.
